   Competing against world-class marathon runners who were backed up by big sports companies and spent hundreds of hours preparing for the race，Cliff Young's training method was just running after hieep.He told the organizers he could run after hieep for a few days and that he could surely compete with other runners.

   After the win，he continued to run in many ultramarathon races and even set standards in the world of endurance racing.His running style，named "The Young Shuffle" is a famous running technique used by many runners in the world today.

[解析]

（1）A.推理判断题。根据第一段中的Coached by his mother who was 81 at the time（由当时81岁的母亲指导）和第二段中的Cliff Young's training method was just running after his sheep（克里夫•杨的训练方法就是追赶他的羊群）可知，他没有专业的教练和专业的训练方法，由此可推知，他的训练很随意。故选A。
（2）B.词义猜测题。根据画线词后In fact，some tried to stop him from running the super﹣difficult race because they thought Cliff Young could die because of the heat and fatigue（疲劳）.After all，he was 61 years old!Cliff Young当时已经61岁了，人们担心他可能会因为炎热和疲劳而死去，因此他要参加超级马拉松的决定似乎是"极其危险的"。A.Quite simple.非常简单的；B.Highly risky.极其危险的；C.Really surprising.非常令人惊讶的；D.Extremely reasonable.极其合理的。故选B。
（3）C.推理判断题。根据第四段中的While the young racers slept，he continued to race throughout the night（当年轻的赛车手睡觉时，他整晚都在继续比赛）和He even gave away his prize money to the rest of the runners after him（他甚至把自己的奖金给了后面的选手）可知，Cliff Young不仅有坚强的意志力，还很慷慨。故选C。
（4）B.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了具有运动精神的Cliff Young在61岁高龄时赢得超级马拉松比赛冠军的故事。B.A true story of an amazing sportsman.（一个了不起的运动员的真实故事。）符合文意，故选B。

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

205507. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） More than 30 years ago，there was a well-known boxer named Eugene Hart．Hart was heavily favored to win his next round against an ungifted boxer，Antuofermo．It was said that the only thing that Antuofermo could do was "he bled well"．However，here was an important thing．He had good qualities that you couldn't see．
   During the fight，Hart controlled Antuofermo，knocking him down and giving him a good beating．Antuofermo absorbed the punishment that was dealt to him by his naturally superior opponent，and he did it so well that Hart became discouraged．In the fifth round，Hart began to tire，not physically but mentally．Taking advantage of the situation，Antuofermo attacked and knocked Hart down，thus ending the fight．
   When the fighters went back to their temporary restrooms，only a thin curtain was between them．Hart's room was quiet，but on the other side he could hear Antuofermo's coach talking about who would take the fighter to the hospital．Finally he heard Antuofermo saying， "Every time he hit me with that left hook（左勾拳）to the body，I thought I was going to quit．After the second round，I thought if he hit me there again，I'd quit．I thought the same thing after the fourth round．But he stopped hitting me there．"
   At that moment，Hart began to weep．He was crying because for the first time he understood that Antuofermo had felt the same way he had and even worse．And the only thing that distinguished the guy who was talking from the guy who was crying was perseverance（毅力）．The coward （懦夫）and the hero had the same emotions．They're both humans．
   The important question to ask yourself here is this：How does each man respond to the tough situation that they are experiencing？Maybe you are in a tough position right now or，if not，one might be coming．How will you react？Like a hero or a coward？

205488. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） "What's your 'Thing of the Day'？" I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate．This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime．Usually，it's followed with， "Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch．" And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something he learned or something that happened with his friends．
   But，this day，my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class．I asked more questions and learned that the teachers were aware of the situation．The issue had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to．It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone．
   I thought about the situation all night．I vacillated between meeting the teachers，meeting the parents of the classmates，and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-not overly excitedly．
   I waited until the next day after school．On the car ride home，I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation．My son was surprised that I brought it up again． "What？No，it's over，Mom．They're my friends．They were just being stupid．They apologized．Forgive and forget，you know？We're all good．"
   I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing．But as I watched him over the next days and weeks，everything seemed "normal"．Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the "forgive and forget" way of life？

205341. （2020•西安中学•高一下期末） During Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour，nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy crossing． "Look，" she says． "There's traffic coming from everywhere．Four buses from four different directions．For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"
   Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital．You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world．The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 810，000? more than the city's 750，000 inhabitants? and 63% of the population cycle daily．
   But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges．Lotta says： "The three biggest problems for us are cars，cycling tourists and scooters（小型摩托）．The cars take up too much space，the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it，and the scooters simply run you over．"
   Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun．Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme．
   Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor，she has been busy giving interviews，opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury member during the Amsterdam Light Parade，an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights．
   She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with： "One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle．Right now，most of us learn it in the street，which can be quite busy．Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling，because most of them really don't know．"
   Following the success of the Amsterdam plan，cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues． "They see it works really well，" Boerma，the senior major，says． "I talk to the parents．Lotta talks to the children．And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child，you will also make it accessible for others．A city that's good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old．"

（1）Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam？
A．To teach children how to ride．
B．To ensure cycling is safer for children．
C．To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city．
D．To organize the cycling contests in the city．
（2）Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 2？
A．Important
B．Unnecessary
C．Difficult
D．Valuable
（3）What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor？

205340. （2020•西安中学•高一下期末） Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother，Kelly，was driving along the country road with him．He was asleep on the front seat of their truck，with his feet resting on her lap．As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road，she turned onto a narrow bridge．The truck hit a rock and slid off the road．She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal（踏板） and turning the steering wheel to the left．But Rocky's foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck．
   The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine（峡谷）．When it hit bottom，Rocky woke up． "What happened，Mama？" He asked， "Our wheels are pointing toward the sky．"
   Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood． "I'll get you out，Mama，" announced Rocky，who had surprisingly escaped injury．He climbed out from under Kelly，slid through the open window and tried to yank（用力拉）his mother out．But she didn't move．
   "Just let me sleep，" begged Kelly，who was out of consciousness．Rocky insisted， "Mom，you can't go to sleep!"
   Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help．Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark，Kelly refused to let him go alone．Instead they slowly moved up to the road．The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up，but Rocky wouldn't let her．
   Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase， "I know you can，I know you can．" When they finally reached the road，Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother's torn face clearly for the first time．Waving his arms and shouting， "Please stop!" the boy stopped a truck．His mother was sent to hospital．
   It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly's face．She looks quite different today ?"I used to have a straight long nose，thin lips and cheekbones；now I've got flat cheeks and much bigger lips" ? but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries．
   Rocky's heroics were big news．Everyone was surprised at this little boy's power． "It's not like I wanted it to happen，" The boy explained， "I just did what anyone would have done．" "If it weren't for Rocky，I'd have died，" said his mother．

205944. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） In Africa，wild baboons（狒狒） like banding together to find food and protect each other．They may not be the smartest species，but like all animals，survival instincts（本能） are programmed into their DNA．They know that being together makes them safer．
Now think about your school．Sure，no one is trying to eat you alive，but you too are a social animal．And you are one who has been thrown into a fierce environment．From day one，you sense that there's safety in numbers．And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs，you feel more secure．"When I first walked into my new high school last year，I was so nervous，"says Mike，15，a high school student in New York City．"Everyone sat and walked together，in twos or threes-sometimes as a'group' of five or more people．I didn't understand how I would ever belong．"
Mike isn't alone．In a survey，63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular，and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups．
It is believed that to be popular is to be liked．But all popular people aren't necessarily liked．They just make rules．Popular groups aren't the only ones making rules．Zoe，a freshman from New York，says that even her close crew，which calls itself the"booknerds（书呆子），"has unspoken guidelines．When Zoe wears makeup or a dress，her friends act like she's betrayed them："They'll say，'Oh，she's painting her nails．She's a popular girl now．'They're joking，but they're not，if you know what I mean．It makes me upset．"
"Because of the way the teen brain works，differences are seen as threatening，"says researcher Alexandra Robbins．"But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood．"
Take，for example，Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5．In high school，he was a"nerdy，awkward kid crazy about music．"Now he's successful and famous．Then there's Taylor Swift：Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her，she put her energy into songwriting．
（1）When Mike first came to his high school，he        ．
A．was excited to make new friends

D．There are always some rules in a group．
（3）Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress，her friends        ．

C．are proud of her
D．are envious of her
（4）Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student？
